When I was a child, the only Christian books for children were mainly ones that retold Bible stories. If you haven’t checked out all of the new Christian picture and chapter books for kids, I would encourage you to take a look at your local Christian bookstore. Many of the books are comparable to secular books, but address character in the light of God’s will for your children.
Recently, I was given the opportunity to review God Gave Us Thankful Hearts by Lisa Bergren. A new picture book (It releases Aug. 23), this is a sweet tale of Little Pup and his unhappiness that winter is coming. Through a series of encounters during his day, Little Pup’s mom helps him realize that even though winter isn’t his favorite season, he will still have a lot of things for which to thank God.
